ter. was published in Sundays issue of

Marketing Oranges.


1t seems the orange growers are dis
satisfied with the Fruit Exchange as
well as the commission men, and well
known gentlemen in Putnam are taking
steps to perfect an organization on a new
plan Till this takes definite shape we
can make no intelligent comment, but
the following shows that the Fruitland
peninsular is determined to have hand
in making the spoon or spelling the
horn
On Thursday evening, March 3lst, 1887,
a Fruit Growers. Association was organ
lied at the residence of Mr.. III. r..
Smith, the main object of this organiza-
ton being to bring about change in the
manner of marketing oranges, and do
away, if possible. with the commission
man, who has mulcted the orange grower
without mercy for years.
In order to make a success of this. Or
CARNATIONS must be perfected i'm every
precinct, which i'm turn must organize the
county. The Fruit Exchange has given
the grower no better results than the
commission men-in many cases they
were worse. 1t is the object of this or
ganization to bring the buyer here. and
sell our fruit at home; we will then know
what We are getting for it,
BY thorough organization on the part
of the growers of oranges, it will be but
short time before the commission man
will be thing of the past.
The next meeting of this organization
will be held on Saturday, April 16. at 3
p M, at the residence of III. r. Smith, to
which all fruit growers of FruitIand and
vicinity are invited.

readily be imagined The following is

Halifax Oranges.

The fine display of citrus fruits that
Putnam House during the season, was
taken down yesterday. The fine fruit and
the still, small voice of Mr.. John Ander-
son has induced great many people to
visit the Halifax Coast, to see the groves
where such fine fruit was grown. A
basket of the fruit was sent to THE
PALATKA NEWS office, and although it
have been off the trees for a long time
it was still very juicy and palatable,
the seedless navels especially being very
fine. The grape fruit, lemons and other
oranges were also excellent.

Until Fine to Death resigned me,

While clouds grow darker Ger me

When we see the blossoms faded.
